The War in the Pacific National Historic Park is located on the island of Guam in the Northern Mariana Islands and serves as the subject for the 48th issue in the 5 oz. Silver America the Beautiful (ATB) series. The American War in the Pacific National Historic Park was created by Congress in 1978. It honors the sacrifice of those who served and paid the ultimate price in the Pacific Theater during World War II.
The popular 5 oz. silver ATB series was introduced in 2010. Each issue features one historic site or park from each U.S. state or territory. Each issue is struck on 5 oz. .999 pure silver planchets. Two varieties are released, the bullion uncirculated version which is sold as singles, rolls, and monster boxes, and the Specimen version, which is accompanied by a stunning clamshell presentation packaging from the U.S. Mint. MCM will also have examples of both varieties featuring sought after designations, coveted signature labels from Numismatic luminaries and of course, the highest grades certified by Numismatic Guarantee Corporation (NGC) and Professional Grading Service (PCGS).
